ABOUT THIS GUIDE XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE
Using this guide with the Quick Reference Guide
The DigiPath Quick Reference Guide is a more compact
operator reference m anual. It provides br ief overviews of each of
the DigiPath software applicatio ns, and includes detailed
instructions for only the most frequently-used functions in each
application.
Like the User Guide, the Quick Reference Guide is intended for
operators who will create, edit, store, manage and search for
objects using DigiPath Production Software (DigiPath).
Unlike the User Guide, however, the Quick Reference Guide is
intended for those operators who are looking for information to
refresh their memories, for shortcuts, or for the fastest way to
accomplish a specific, common task.
The Quick Reference Guide prese nts DigiPath in formatio n using
more diagrams and screen captures. This guide also provides
brief, less-detailed instructions for using a particular function,
without including descriptions of all the available options.
Using this guide with the Customer Software Release Document
The DigiPath Customer Software Release Document (CSRD)
contains high-level information about the current version of
DigiPath. Compatibility details and brief descr iptions of features
added since the last DigiPath rele ase are included in the CSRD.
As with any software, DigiPath users occasionally encounter
minor glitches while using one or more DigiPath applications.
The CSRD provides a detailed description of any ca veats that
limit the usability of a DigiPath feature, as well as a Xeroxrecommended wor karou nd for the pr ob le m , if any.
Use this document to ensure the proper functioning of your
software. Refer to the CSRD before you call the Xerox Customer
Support Center rega rding a problem you may be experi en ci ng.
